Federal Government Project Performance Metrics for Projects Over $1 Million

Public Services and Procurement Canada provides quarterly data on the percentage of active federal accommodation, infrastructure, and other government projects valued over $1 million that are delivered on time, on budget, and within scope. The dataset uses a three-tier scoring system (1-3) to indicate project status against targets, with separate targets for Parliament Hill projects. The data was last updated on March 20, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in federal project delivery performance based on quarterly reporting cycles.
• Build predictive models for project success or failure based on the three-tier status indicator (1-3).
• Benchmark departmental performance against the 90% and 95% on-time/on-budget/on-scope targets.
• Conduct risk assessment for large-scale government infrastructure programs.

Strengths

• Includes a defined three-tier scoring system (1-3) for time, budget, and scope performance.
• Specifies distinct performance targets (90% and 95%) for different project categories.
• Data is collected quarterly, allowing for temporal trend analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description focuses on calculation methodology; specific data features are not detailed.
